The Premier League have confirmed that Liverpool's equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Sunderland on Wednesday (December 3) won't go down as a Florian Wirtz goal.

Sunderland took the lead at Anfield thanks to a beautifully taken long-distance strike from winger Chemsdine Talbi.

Liverpool kept applied the pressure on Regis Le Bris’ side and eventually restored parity when Writz’s strike took a heavy deflection off Nordi Mukiele.

The 22-year-old celebrating think he had finally secured his first Premier League goal since joining for a reported £116 million in the summer.

He has now been denied, however, with the Premier League confirming that Liverpool’s equaliser will officially go down as a Mukiele own goal.
